Légende

Iron church, for Jamaica, 1844. 'This Church has been sent out to Jamaica, as a specimen, as many of the kind are likely to be required. The pilaster supports are of cast iron, on which are fixed the frame roof, of wrought iron, of an ingenious construction, combining great strength with simplicity of arrangement; the whole is covered with corrugated iron; and the ceiling formed in paneled compartments, covered with felt, to act as a non-conductor of heat'. The building was designed by Mr. Peter Thompson, Commercial-road, Limehouse. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
